Carabao Cup quarter-final round draw in full: Fixtures list, dates, times and how to watch next EFL Cup round
The dates for the Carabao Cup quarter-final have been confirmed with the four matches taking place across two days in the run-up to Christmas.
The first tie of the round will take place on Tuesday 21 December when Arsenal entertain League One Sunderland, the only non-Premier League club left in the competition, at the Emirates.
The three remaining fixtures are scheduled to take place on Wednesday 22 December. Brentford welcome Chelsea to the Community Stadium, Liverpool host Leicester at Anfield, and Spurs face West Ham in a London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Sky Sports will broadcast Arsenal vs Sunderland and Tottenham vs West Ham live and show highlights of the other two matches.
For the first time in five years, Manchester City’s name will not be etched on the trophy after they were beaten on penalties by West Ham in the fourth round.
The Hammers also eliminated 2017 winners Manchester United in the third round, meaning that Chelsea are the competition’s recent winners after their 2-0 success against Spurs in 2015.
Tottenham’s most recent trophy win came in the League Cup when they beat Chelsea 2-1 after extra-time in the 2008 final, while Liverpool last won it in 2012, via a penalty shootout victory over Cardiff.
Leicester have won it three times in their history, the most recent of which was in 2000, while Brentford, Sunderland and West Ham are bidding to win it for the first time in their history.

Manchester City’s grip on the League Cup was finally loosened when Said Benrahma settled the penalty shoot-out and sent West Ham into the quarter-finals, ending Pep Guardiola’s side’s four-year winning run in the competition.
Almost five years to the day since they were last eliminated from the competition, City paid the price for failing to make more of a succession of good chances to settle the tie.
Phil Foden then missed his side’s opening penalty in the shoot-out while David Moyes’s Hammers held their nerve to convert all five of their spot-kicks, with Benrahma slotting home the fifth.
